Today, we published Release Candidate versions of Axway Titanium SDK – now bundled with Hyperloop, Axway Appcelerator CLI, and Axway Appcelerator Studio. This is a major release with new features, bug fixes, improvements, and API changes. For a more detailed overview, known issues and closed tickets, see the release notes:

Noteworthy Changes

As mentioned with the SDK 7.0.0 Beta release, Hyperloop modules are now shipped with the Titanium SDK! That means you will get the latest version (currently 3.0.1) of Hyperloop with the SDK going forward. Previously, Hyperloop was distributed as a separate module. Users had to go through additional steps to install and use Hyperloop. Making Hyperloop part of the core SDK will eliminate these restrictions and improve user experience.

Introducing the Appcelerator Daemon. The Daemon is a node.js server running in the background providing an API for future tooling feature and performance improvements. The Daemon provides a new plugin system for greater extensibility. Look for exciting new updates to the Daemon as we add features throughout 2018.

Google Play Services implementation has been improved by removing the library from Appcelerator-provided modules and providing a ti.playservices module for a single and easier implementation. No longer will users be required to keep modules that use Google Play Services in sync to avoid dexer errors. We are including our Google Play Services module and providing updated versions of our other modules such as ti.map, ti.cloudpush and ti.admob. Users simply need to include ti.playservices module as a dependency in their own module’s timodule.xml to make use of this new design. For more info, see an example on Github.

Additional Android features are included. As part of our continued commitment to improve Android support, we have included the following features for Android:
